Arming Ukraine: Ongoing Since Last Year

Obama continues the charade about continuing diplomacy before deciding whether to supply Kiev with weapons and munitions.

One last push for peace, he claimed. "If…diplomacy fails, what I've asked my team to do is to look at all the options."

"And the possibility of lethal defensive weapons is one of those options that's being examined. But I have not made a decision about that yet."

Fact: Obama is a serial liar. Nothing he says has credibility. Truth is polar opposite his Big Lies.

Saying he'll do whatever it takes "to help Ukraine bolster its defenses in the face of separatist aggression" flies in the face of US planned, implemented and directed Kiev dirty war without mercy against Donbas residents wanting democracy, rejecting fascism.

Putin called Ukraine's military a (US-controlled) NATO "foreign legion" for good reason. Its forces get enormous amounts of Western weapons and munitions already.

An AN-124 aircraft landing in Belgrade appears to be "ferrying weapons from a number of known NATO air terminals used for such purposes," said Madsen.

It's the world's largest gross weight cargo aircraft. Able to carry a 170 ton payload.

"After arriving in Bucharest, Romania on January 23, 2015 from the Italian island of Lampedusa, off the coast of Libya, the aircraft departed on January 23 for New Jersey in the United States," said Madsen.

"Lampedusa was a major staging base for NATO weapons supplies to Libyan rebels during the Western- and Islamist-inspired rebellion against the Qaddafi government."

"Bucharest has become a major base for NATO military support to Kiev."

Washington has six storage units in Norway's central Trondelag region. Heavy US weapons are held there.

Since conflict began last April, "the mysterious Ukrainian AN-124 has been spotted around the world, likely picking up weapons," said Madsen.

Last June, it was seen at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport. In May, it was in the Canary Islands. What may have been a refueling stop, Madsen explained.

Weeks before November 2013 Maidan protests began in Kiev, a Ukrainian UR-82072 aircraft was seen at Washington's Dulles International Airport, said Madsen.

Last April when conflict began, "the Antonov weapons carrier was sighted at Portsmouth International Airport, the old Pease Air Force Base, which is now a New Hampshire Air National Guard Base," Madsen explained.

Last September, the aircraft showed up in Tbilisi, Georgia. "There is little doubt that (NATO commander Philip) Breedlove…previously authorized the transfer of NATO weapons to Ukraine via Tblisi."
